Greetings!

Who can resist October? The month marks the transition from Summer to Fall, ushering in crisp mornings, vibrant colors, and all things pumpkin! This month, the focus is on exploring different home types, preparing for cold weather, delving into color and seasonal trends, and enjoying fall outdoors:

• Real Estate: Which type of dwelling is right for you?

• Fall Home Maintenance: A printable checklist and a set of DIY projects to keep your house warmer and less costly.

• Color and Seasonal Design: 2024 Colors of the Year, Fall home decor, and quiz to help you discover the best color for YOUR home.

• Fall in Atlanta: Leaf watching, apples, pumpkins, corn mazes, festivals, ziplining, Halloween celebrations, and live music in Atlanta.

If moving is on your mind this fall, or if you just want to toss around some ideas about the future, feel free to give us a call. Your pumpkin spiced latte is on us!
